Najee Harris gave the Pittsburgh Steelers four quality years of running back play. While Harris wasn’t the most explosive player in the league, he was consistent. That came in some truly ugly Steelers offenses, too. Harris wasn’t often running behind a quality offensive line. However, the Steelers let him leave in free agency this offseason, with Harris signing with the Los Angeles Chargers. Jerome Bettis liked what he saw from Harris in Pittsburgh, and he wouldn’t have minded if they re-signed him.
“I thought Najee, you saw him from his first year to his last year, he developed and grew every year as a running back,” Bettis said recently in an interview with Pro Football Network.
